cTrader Automate and Visual Studio 2022
12 Oct 2021, 09:10

Dear all,

as I already use Visual Studio 2022 (Preview) for other C# projects - and overall it works fine - I just wanted to ask if this version is already supported by cTrader (incl. cBots and Custom Indicators extension), as well?

If not, when will this be available?

Many thanks and regards,
Christian

Hi,

Most probably we will support officially Visual Studio 2022 after cTrader 4.2 release.

Are you able to provide an ETA or timeline on this? For all we know, cTrader 4.2 could be out next month, or 6 months, or even 12 months from now.

And then since you say we have to wait until after that release, we might have to wait yet another 12 months.

Thank you.

Is there an official announcement on what versions of Visual Studio are still officially supported? Because there's nothing in this thread:

cTrader Desktop 4.2 Has Been Released!

Hi firemyst,

Legacy projects can be opened by all VS versions. .NET 6.0 needs VS 2022.

"Compatible Visual Studio not found"

I have a project for which I do not remember the VS version I used to build it. How can I check the version? I assume that the project built with VS 2017 does not work with VS 2019? 

I also installed VS 2017 and got the same message below:

 

Also is there a way to control which VS version ctrader is using when opening projects? (assuming several VS versions are installed on computer)

Hi Jani,

I assume that the project built with VS 2017 does not work with VS 2019? 

It should work but you need to have the extension for VS 2019 installed too. But as far as I can see you are using 2022. If you upgrade your project to target .NET 6.0, you should not need any extensions to built it.

RE:

Hi Panagiotis,

 

thank you for your help!

I had to do some reinstalling and decided to go forward with VS 2019. Seems to work fine.
